The purpose of this book is the development of the principles and experimental techniques
underlying near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy and the …

Photoelectron diffraction is the name given to the phenomenon resulting from the coherent
interference of the directly emitted component of an electron wavefield, emerging from an …

The review discusses how CO2 surface chemistry has developed since the early 1950s.
Emphasis is given to studies of well-characterized surfaces of metals, oxides and some …

In this report, we review the interaction of formic acid (HCOOH) with transition metal
surfaces, as studied with the tools of modern surface science in an ultrahigh vacuum …

The increasing demand of the chemical and pharmaceutical industries for enantiomerically
pure compounds has spurred the development of a range of so-called 'chiral …

Formic acid is a potential hydrogen storage molecule which dehydrogenates to form CO2
and H2 on metal surfaces. However, it can also decompose via a competing dehydration …

We have studied the effect of Zn on hydrogenation of formate to dioxomethylene on the Cu
(111) surface by using a density functional theory–generalized gradient approximation (DFT …

The adsorption and supramolecular ordering of trimesic acid (TMA), 1, 3, 5-
benzenetricarboxylic acid C6H3 (COOH) 3, on a Cu (100) surface has been studied in-situ …

One of the most successful ways of inducing enantioselectivity in a heterogeneous catalytic
system is by the adsorption of chiral “modifier” molecules on the reactive metal surface …

The mechanism of HCOOH decomposition on Pd (111) surface leading to the formation of
CO2 and CO has been systematically investigated to identify the preference of CO2 or CO …
